I Lied About That One Too Poem, by Malo J, at My poetic side

I had my first normal day today.

I didn’t cry at all,

Not even when I read an

Old book about a woman

Attempting suicide.

Oh wait;

I did.

Well, I ate all three meals today;

I didn’t count my calories and

For once I didn’t have to distract

Myself from the shitty cafeteria food.

Fuck;

That’s a lie too.

I didn’t dissociate today;

Not during History when the

Teacher decided to talk about

The college girl he knew who

Was 6’2 and weighed 60 pounds.

Never mind;

I remember the fog now.

For once,

I didn’t write a poem about being

Sad today.
